The staff were super kind and I enjoyed the vibe of the hostel. The facilities were appropriate and clean. Location is good with bars and shops close by and bus tours leaving from the square.

This super friendly little hostel is a winner! Its location in the middle of Connemara is optimal for exploring the surroundings in all directions (by car).
You will find a lot more than you need for cooking in the open space kitchen. There's a spacious room for eating and also a cozy lounge with a little fire place - and a lake view.
The dorm might be a bit small, but you'll find storage space under the bed (lockable if you bring a pad lock). Shared toilets and showers are functional and clean.
Also...they have the most comfortable hostel bed I've ever slept in (personal preference).
I felt genuinely welcome and looked after by the staff at Ben Lettery Hostel and will for sure return as soon as possible!

The modern and well equipped hostel, with the bathroom in the room. The Delphi Resort and its bar and restaurant where we had delicious dinner and breakfast. The place is surrounded by nature: river, mountains, forest.

Hostel is so clean and modern, rooms are tight but super-efficient with great shower facilities. Hotel staff were wonderful. Adventure Centre staff were very friendly and the session we did (Archery) was great fun and great to have something on-offer for the younger kids. It's a beautiful place in a stunning natural setting. Highly recommend a visit.

A nice hostel in the centre of Galway. We had an individual room with (comfortable) bunk beds and a little private bathroom. The staff was very helpful and kind: lent us a hairdryer, gave us a discount code for the Aran Islands ferry, kept our bags before check-in and after check-out... The breakfast was solid and the communal room welcoming, complete with board games, free tea/coffee and books to peruse. Very good value for the money.

Probably the the nicest hostel I've ever stayed in, very clean, very comfortable, very affordable, everyone was so nice, you really feel safe there too, the location was perfect also, I was within walking distance to everywhere I needed to get, they have a really lovely kitchen and seating era to chill out before sleeping, next time I'm in Galway I'll definitely stay there again, thanks so much for everything 🙂

A beautiful remote location with spectacular views. The staff were amazing. Friendly guests. Great kitchen, delicious breakfast. Hostels, bunk beds and shared bathrooms are not something we have done before and as great as this place was, not sure we would do it again. .. We were travelling as a family.
